“I try always to face hurt squarely. Because I’ve learned that when I run from pain, I bypass transformation — like a caterpillar consistently jumping out of its cocoon, right before it was about to become a butterfly.”

– Glennon Doyle Melton

LET ME BE YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM

I’m here to support and empower you through the challenges of loving a man who has children. My program focuses on women who are either dating, in a committed relationship, or married and a Stepmom. (Actually, I can’t stand the word “step”, I prefer Soul Mom or Bonus Mom.)

I don’t think anyone can understand the depths of this role until they’ve walked in our shoes. Instead of being invalidated or judged, I believe we should be honored and treated like the angels that we are, helping to heal broken families. Which….. Is. Not. Easy. Add a high-conflict biological mother to the picture and you have a recipe for emotional chaos.

There is hope. I promise. This is about working together with your significant other to become a team. Blending lives doesn’t allow for avoidance of the difficult stuff. Expectations, issues, and boundaries usually need to be addressed much earlier than in most relationships. And if there is a high-conflict bio-mother, it’s about protecting your family and relationship from the impact of her negative energy.

Let’s do this. I can help you.

I understand because I’ve lived it

It’s taken me over three years of working with the best experts and therapists to develop the tools to change the dynamic my partner and I were drowning in. And now that we’ve named it, we’ve tamed it. I now know this journey is so much bigger than household struggles or one insignificant person who is a source of toxicity.

This is about soul-work. A return to your personal power, self-love and a search for the true essence of your relationship and mothering in your own unique way. Don’t lose one more precious day — it’s time to empower yourself and carve out a life and relationship you love — with intention.

“Maiko has been a rock for me during one of the hardest times of my life. Her support has been invaluable and she has really helped me to get back on track with advice that resonates on a deeper level. I’m so grateful for having her in my life.”

YOU KNOW IN YOUR GUT THAT THIS IS NO WAY TO LIVE… AND YOU’RE RIGHT.

Let’s get you back on the right path. We should talk.

Dating & Relationship Guidance

Let’s be real, change only comes with intention and effort. It’s a process of figuring out what matters most to you, committing to the things you value, and stepping outside your comfort zone. Growth in the direction of your dreams takes hard work — but it doesn’t always have to feel “hard.” I like to look at it as placing focused energy on the things that matter most, because your happiness is worth it.
